... elevenses became her heaven, so much the focus of her life that impatiently she took her elevenses earlier and earlier until they were finished by 8.45am, and the day lay before her, empty as a doughnut hole, all happiness shot.

Fancy That's Walpole Tea Room launches custom blend called "Smitten"

Fancy That is
“Smitten” with its new House Blend of Tea

Fancy That introduces its own house blend of tea called
“Smitten.”

Fancy That, a busy Victorian style tea house and gift shop in
Walpole, Massachusetts, whose Facebook fan-base of over 11,000 draws “likers”
from around the globe, has just launched its own blend of tea they are calling
“Smitten.”“We are proud to bring
wonderful teas to the table for our guests to enjoy,” Sarah Erlandson,
proprietress of Fancy That says.“So it
seemed fitting to offer our own blend of tea containing our favorite
flavourings.”

“Smitten” is a blend of Pai Mu Tan (or “White Peony”) certified
organic white tea, rose bud petals that are certified organic, Lemongrass from Egypt also certified organic and Orange Flower
Water from France.The mist-shrouded mountains of the Fujian Province
in China
is where this white tea is grown.White
tea is the least processed of all teas – never rolled and only slightly
oxidized. It is only picked in the spring
and only on days where there is no rain.It is loaded with favonoids, catechins and other antioxidants and has a
proven health benefit.The taste is
distinctively “tea” with a rich golden color to the liquid. The addition of rose petals and French Orange
Blossom water gives Smitten its gentle aroma and comforting notes of honey.

“My husband and I fell in love with the ethereal taste of Orange
Blossom water while planning our wedding,” Erlandson continues.“Our wedding cake was flavoured with French Orange
Blossom water.We have been smitten with
the flavour ever since, so you can see where the name came from,” Erlandson
says with a smile.“Working with local blender
GayGrace Teas (home of the original Mobile Tea Truck), we came up with the
perfect combination of ingredients to create Fancy That’s signature, house
blend tea.We are thrilled to add it to
our tea menu.”

“Smitten” joins Fancy That’s tea menu alongside over 30 teas
from which patrons may choose when they have Afternoon Tea at the tea room.“Initially Smitten will only be available by
the pot when you have Afternoon Tea here, “Erlandson says.“But later this year we will begin to offer
Smitten for sale in our gift shop, so that our house blend can be enjoyed at
home, too.”

Fancy That is a “reservation only” tea house, serving a classic
Victorian style Afternoon Tea Thursdays through Sundays.Reservations are running approximately two
